Default redline

Does anyone know what the rev limiter is on a manual 01 GT? I was also wondering if the rev limiter rpm is the same as the redline rpm?

Any reason why you posted this twice? Anyways,
Q1) Don't have a GT so can't help ya there
Q2) No, they are not the same. Redlining just means you are hitting what's considered the 'top-end' of what the computers consider 'safe' for the motor. The rev limiter keeps you from reving the engine past a certain point. At idle in nuetral, hit the gas...at around 3500-4000 rpm the motor will start to miss and keep your Tach bouncing around a specific RPM that's your rev limiter kicking in. If you put it in gear and floor it, you'll go past redline and at some point the gas will cut off to your engine. That too is a rev limiter.

Some cars have their rev-limit set at redline, some have it set elesewhere, and some have none because someone reprogrammed the computer to turn off the limiters.

The answer is redline is at 5800 and the rev limiter bounces at 6100 or 6200.
